Byron Keith Brown was sentenced to a 15-year prison term last December for stealing $17 million from investors through an internet Ponzi scheme. Now, the federal government is selling off his extensive car collection on Tuesday in an Ellicott City, Maryland auction.

The list of cars for sale is long and packed with blue-chip nameplates. Brown's collection includes the usual litany of BMW, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, Lamborghini and Land Rover models, as well as a decent replica of a 1936 Auburn Speedster.

The cars all look like they're in pretty good shape, and, since this is a goverment auction, there's the outside chance they may sell for a bargain. If we had the coin, we'd be flying ourselves on over to Ellicott City for an up-close look at the inventory.

Check out Manheim Government Auctions for information on each of Brown's car, and if you manage to snag one, swing by and give us a ride. Hat tip to Josh!

That's a nice bunch of vehicles, but it's uninspired. Other than the Speedster it's like a list made by someone who doesn't care about cars but was told: "go buy lots of expensive cars." Don't get me wrong, I love all the vehicles, but if I was spending over a million on cars, there would a bit more character. A Caterham, an E30 M3, a '67 Mustang in Highland green. That sort of thing.

he had a lot more cars than these, though i wouldnt say theres anything wrong with someone having a murcie roadster, a db9, or a phantom, unless you're the type that can't have them so you call someone "unimaginative" for buying them. he bought a lot of cars per year for himself and family, some stock exotic/luxury and some custom jobs. lotta stuff he's bought over the years (he's only 35) isn't on that list.

The hideous aftermarket wheels just scream bad taste. He just confirms it with the hideous yellow on the Gran Turismo. He should be given life for taking a beautiful elegant car like that and getting it in yellow.
